Edgar Allen Poe Samra Ramic Mrs. de Beer L.a- 1st October- 6- 2011

 Edgar Allen Poe’s death, to this day is an unsolved mystery. There have been, and still are many predictions about his tragic death. I for one believe that he died from Brain Lesions and foul play. Brain Lesions can be caused by multiple things which may include disease, stress, and alcoholism. Edgar’s symptoms could have possibly been two of the three symptoms, alcoholism and stress. Edgar Allen Poe, Abused alcohol because of his stress due to his loved ones dying of tuberculoses. One thing Brain Lesions can cause a person to do is their change in mood and behavior. People say that Poe’s behavior would change grammatically in just the matter of seconds. Also, while looking at pictures of Poe, many people say that it looks like he has Brain Lesions. Poe never had an autopsy so there for, no one really knows if he had Brain Lesions. If Edgar Allen Poe did die from Brain Lesions, because of his addiction to alcohol he just worsened the illness. Another possible death could have been foul play. Poe was found unconscious in Baltimore Street. At this time Baltimore was having elections, during elections it was a crucial time and many people were “cooped”, which means they were given too much alcohol and they were beaten, put in disguises and forced to vote again. When Poe was found he wasn’t wearing the clothes he would wear on a usual daily base. Edgar Allen Poe could have died because of both of these reasons. He could of have had both Brain Lesions and he could of died of foul play. Until his death becomes solved, or if it ever does I believe he died from both Brain Lesions and foul play. It so happens that on Poe’s certificate of Death, it says he died of Brain Consignation.
